Connecting Pa3X to a Master keyboard

Connecting Pa3X to a Master keyboard
You can control the Pa3X with a master keyboard or any other
MIDI keyboard. You only need to connect the MIDI OUT con-
nector of the master keyboard to the MIDI IN connector of the
Pa3X. The master keyboard will become the integrated keyboard
of the Pa3X if it transmits over the same channel programmed as
Global in the Pa3X.
If the master keyboard transmits over the Global channel of the
Pa3X, the split point and the status of the SPLIT button in the
control panel will affect the notes received from the master key-
board.
Connections and settings
To connect the master keyboard to the Pa3X follow this proce-
dure:
1. Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the master keyboard
to the MIDI IN connector of the Pa3X.
Program the master keyboard to transmit over the Global

channel of the Pa3X (see "MIDI: MIDI In Channels" on
page 212).
For information on the master keyboard programming, see
the master keyboard own user's manual.

Global mode, or in the dedicated page of the Style Play,
Song Play or Sequencer mode (see "Midi Setup" on
page 136, "Midi Setup" on page 158, and "Midi Setup" on

Play, Song Play and Sequencer modes. The
MIDI Setup is automatically selected when entering the
Sound Edit mode. MIDI settings are therefore modified when
switching to a different operating mode. The current MIDI
Setup is also shown in the Global mode.
